The official Zack and Miri Makes a Porno website (zackandmiri.com) features some new photos and the first we’ve seen of the film’s production logo. I like it, but it should be noted that writer/director Kevin Smith warns it is only a production logo:
“It was the production logo: on all the stationary, the chair-backs, the slate. Doubt it’ll be used for the poster or anything.”
Someone on the View Askew message boards also asked Smith how much further in the Sex comedy department does Zack and Miri go compared to his previous films. Smith replied:
“Remember the donkey show [from Clerks II]? Child’s play, in comparison.”
Smith also revealed that they will be cutting a redband movie trailer (”Where it winds up is anybody’s guess”). My guess is in front of an R-Rated movie in Regal Cinemas (who now allow Red Band trailers) and online in some format.

I think this will be the film that moves Kevin Smith from low budget cult director to mainstream. It has a great cast, and should be hilarious.

Great logo. Plays up the “X” nostalgia but not too much.
This movie almost seems to have a European sensibility, not to sound like a pretentious dick.

Yeah, the title alone puts it out there past other Smith films in terms of mainstream awareness. Should be fun.

Despite getting shit for ‘Rats and JG, Smith is still one of the most consistantly funny and original comedy directors out there. C’mon, who else is making movies like Dogma or Chasing Amy? Those are two of the most original comedies ever made. Both Clerks are probably two of the most rewatchable comedies as well. Apatow and his crew should be thanking Kevin for paving the way.

i cannot wait for this, but ive been thinking lately:
-are there alot of people waiting for this?
-does smith stretch past his loyal followers?
-will rogen be the reason it succeeds in mainstream (if it does) or is it smith?
-anybody got any predictions on how much $ it’ll do in its theater run?
-am i way off in worrying, is this is gonna be HUGE?
i hope for the absolute best for anything smith does, as i am a faithful askewican. the only movie of his i didnt like was jersey girl - but i’ll still see any film he makes. im just curious what ya’ll think about the chances of zack/miri.
